Community Policing
In this paper I am going to talk about Community Policing, what it is, how and why we need and use it, from management to police agencies to community supports. I am going to explain past problems, professionalism, leadership, and even grants programs and activities of Community Policing. I will give examples of community policing programs as well as other examples to support what I am trying to get across. Obviously I can't start without telling you what it is.Community policing is defined as any method of policing that includes a police officer assigned to the same area, meeting and working with the residents and business people who live and work in the beat area. The citizens and police work together to identify the problems of the area and to collaborate in workable resolutions of the problems. Moving neighborhoods and communities toward solving their own problems, and encouraging citizens to help and look out for each other. To be successful, community policing requires the total commitment of the police, citizens and subgroups like business, media, political leaders and social service agencies and other institutions of the community. It is proactive, decentralized and personalized; it is ful
l-service and works toward the goal of removing predators from the streets and solving long-term problems by dealing with the causes, not just reacting to the symptoms. Finally, in the absence of valid research findings, "community policing is advancing because it seems to make sense, not because it has been shown to be demonstrably superior. This is no different with policing. Normative sponsorship theory declares most people are of good will and willing to cooperate with others to satisfy their needs. Each group involved and interested in program implementation must be able to justify and, hence, legitimize the common group goal within its own patterns of values, norms, and goals. Officers are out there daily to protect and uphold crime. By the turn of the century, the progressive movement began to promote professionalism in law enforcement as one of the basic components of rehabilitating municipal politics. " Before 1829, the police whether military or civilian only responded after a crime had been reported.
